What we love about this Meal Prep Breakfast Scramble
This quick breakfast is loaded with some great veggies and nutrition! Did you know that tomatoes are a major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene which is linked to reducing heart disease and cancer? We used cherry tomatoes in this recipe which are bursting with flavor, too.
And eggs? Eggs contain a nutrient called choline, which an help us to maintain a healthy metabolism. Choline can also help in preventing memory loss and can even improve your cognitive function! And if your kids lack in getting in their protein, ta-dah! Eggs to the rescue. They are a great source of protein that our bodies need.

What is meal prepping?
Well you may be a pro at meal prep or just getting started. Meal prepping is preparing meals for more than one day at a time. You can either toss these items in the refrigerator for the week or some meals are great to go in the freezer to take at a later date and time. We have some great meal prep lunch ideas, too like our Greek Chicken Bowls.
How to make this Meal Prep Breakfast Scramble
First heat a skillet over medium heat. Then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk your eggs and add to the pan.
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set. Remove from pan and set aside.
Return the skillet to heat. Add in the oil, potatoes and onions and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked. Next add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the eggs, cheese, salt and pepper to combine. Top with avocado and cilantro if desired and serve. Or place in your meal prep containers for later.
